Make your site discoverable by ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Automatically generates llms.txt and FAQ Schema.

== Description ==

= The problem: your site is invisible to AI assistants =

Millions of people now look for information by asking ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google Gemini directly, instead of using a traditional search engine.

**But how do these AI assistants decide which sites to cite in their answers?**

They use specific protocols — such as **llms.txt** — to understand which sites exist, what they contain and whether they are reliable sources. Without these files, your site is essentially invisible: AI assistants do not know you exist, they do not cite you, and you lose potential traffic.

**Aidentity Generative Engine Optimizer** implements these protocols on your WordPress site automatically.

= How it works =

Once installed, your site starts "speaking the language of AI":

1. **Creates the llms.txt file** — Think of it as a business card for AI assistants. It tells them who you are, what your main content is and how to find it. The file is generated automatically and updated every time you publish.

2. **Generates FAQ Schema** — If your articles use headings such as "How does X work?" or "What does Y mean?", the plugin turns them into structured data that Google and AI assistants recognise as authoritative questions and answers.

3. **Adds optimized summaries** — AI assistants love to find the key takeaway right away. The plugin adds a short summary at the top of your articles to make content easier to cite.

= Why it matters now =

Traditional SEO is built around Google. But traffic is shifting:

* ChatGPT has more than 200 million active users
* Perplexity is becoming the preferred search engine for many professionals
* Google itself is integrating AI Overview into search results

If your site is not optimized for AI assistants, you are losing visibility every day.

= What is llms.txt? =

It is an emerging standard (similar to robots.txt) that lets websites communicate with Large Language Models. The file tells AI assistants:

* Who you are and what your site is about
* What the main content is
* How information is organised
* Where to find machine-readable versions of your content

Without llms.txt, AI assistants have to "guess" what your site contains. With llms.txt, you tell them directly.

= What the plugin actually does =

* **Generates /llms.txt** — Structured index of your site for AI assistants
* **Generates /llms-full.txt** — Full version including all content
* **Creates automatic FAQ Schema** — From H2/H3 headings written as questions
* **Adds AI-friendly summaries** — At the top of articles
* **Updates itself** — Every time you publish or edit content

All these features work on every post and page, without artificial limits.

== Installation ==

= Automatic installation =

1. Go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress dashboard
2. Search for "Aidentity Generative Engine Optimizer"
3. Click "Install Now" and then "Activate"

2. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
3. Select the zip file and click "Install Now"
4. Activate the plugin

1. Go to Settings > Aidentity GEO

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need to do anything after installation? =

No, the plugin works automatically. After activation it generates the llms.txt file straight away and starts adding FAQ Schema and summaries to your content. You can fine-tune the settings under Settings > Aidentity GEO, but it is not required.

= How do I verify it is working? =

Visit yoursite.com/llms.txt — you should see a plain-text file with the structured index of your site. You can also view the source code of an article and search for "FAQPage" to see the generated FAQ schema.

= Will AI assistants actually use these files? =

Yes. The llms.txt protocol is already supported by several AI systems and is becoming a standard, much like robots.txt did for traditional search engines. The sooner you implement it, the sooner your site will be properly indexed by AI assistants.

= Does the plugin slow down the site? =

No. Files are generated in the background and stored in cache. Your visitors will not notice any performance difference.

= Does it work with Yoast SEO, RankMath or other SEO plugins? =

Yes, it is fully compatible. If you use Yoast or RankMath, the plugin will automatically use the meta descriptions you have already written to generate better summaries.

= Do I need to know llms.txt or AI protocols to use the plugin? =

No, the plugin handles everything for you. You do not have to edit code, write files manually or understand the technical details.

= Can I exclude certain pages from the llms.txt file? =

Yes. You can exclude individual pieces of content by adding the custom field `_geo_exclude` with value `1` to the post or page you want to exclude.

= Does it work with caching plugins and CDNs? =

Yes. Generated files (llms.txt, llms-full.txt) ship with appropriate cache headers and work correctly with any caching plugin or CDN.
